Supporting Bespoke Manufacturing

Engineering software built for complex projects

IMPS unites procurement, document control, and project delivery - built by engineers, for engineers.

The Engineering Reality

Revision chaos, procurement delays, and disconnected tools create unnecessary complexity

Engineers lose time reconciling outdated drawings or tracking material updates across multiple systems. IMPS solves this by integrating workflows, procurement processes, and communication into one unified platform. With real-time visibility, version control, and centralized data, IMPS ensures all users work from the same up-to-date information, reducing errors, and streamlining project execution.

How it works

1. Design Engineering

1. Design Engineering

Latest versions of part info, BOM Drawings - pulled into IMPS.

2. Procurement

2. Procurement

Procurement can see the latest version of the BOM to ensure accurate purchasing.

3. Assembly

“Osbit delivers complex, bespoke equipment into fast-moving offshore projects where designs evolve rapidly and hitting deadlines really matters”

As an OEM, maintaining control of parts, revisions, procurement, and documentation across multiple projects is critical. Working closely with Blacksmith Engineering, Osbit helped shape IMPS from its early versions into a system that reflects how engineering teams actually work. IMPS now underpins how Osbit manages modular designs, tracks changes, and ensures everyone is working from the latest information. This has improved consistency, reduced risk, and given the business the confidence to scale at pace while continuing to deliver highly customised solutions – staying true to Osbit’s mission: On Spec, Budget, In Time.

Why Blacksmith?

Blacksmith Engineering builds software specifically for complex, bespoke engineering environments. We believe generic manufacturing and ERP systems fail engineers because they prioritise accounting and repeat production over real-world project delivery. IMPS connects directly to engineering data with deep CAD and PDM integrations, ensuring parts, BOMs, and drawings flow cleanly into procurement and project delivery. Engineering changes are captured early, revisions are controlled, and downstream teams always see the latest approved information. By keeping CAD, procurement, and documentation aligned in a single system, IMPS removes the disconnect that causes costly mistakes in complex, bespoke projects.
